| Pablo Picasso |
Today is the birthday of a Spanish
painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, known as Pablo Picasso (25
October 1881 – 8 April 1973), who spent most of his adult life in France. He is
widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed
sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that
he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the
German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Picasso, Henri Matisse
and Marcel Duchamp are commonly regarded as the three artists who most defined
the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of
the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting,
sculpture, printmaking and ceramics. Picasso demonstrated extraordinary
artistic talent in his early years, painting in a realistic manner through his
childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his
style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and
ideas. His revolutionary artistic accomplishments brought him universal renown
and immense fortune, making him one of the best-known figures in 20th-century
art. Presenting some Quotations : Being Poet
